1 scroll : 44 x 1525 cm
This scroll consists of 35 paintings of the famous ghosts in ancient Japanese legends. The brushwork is fine, the colors rich, and the tableau ingenious
Kokusho Sōmokuroku lists a title. Bakemonnozukushi which is similar to this. But it is a book and not a scroll. It also lists a title. Bakemono. Which is similar to BYU's copy. It is a scroll without painter's name or date and only one copy exists. It could be a variation of this scroll. Although not necessarily identical
BYU's copy could not have been made later than 1868 because ghost paintings were no longer popular after the Meiji Reform
